I don't know which rock you live under, but this has been going on for decades.
Are you asserting that this is all that they do?
I'm not going to claim this is outside their mandate, in fact it seems to be within their mandate, but I would surely like to see more stories about CSIS work on foreign influence. Thus my post.
The problem seems to be that we have no transparency into funding avenues for many NGOs and NPOs, not only the environmental or anti-pipeline groups. Digging in a bit it seems that there is far more smoke on the side of the right wing orgs (Fraser, CTF) than the left wing orgs, but the correct approach here is to demand transparency and better reporting requirements across the board.
I suspect the RCMP and CSIS may have political bias, but the way to fix it is to tighten up the laws around reporting, not to try to correct a bias around shitty laws. And certainly not to diminish the importance of organizations like CSIS, which frankly would be extremely naive.
Edit to add - terrorism, including domestic terrorism, is solidly in the mandate of CSIS, whether it's left wing or right wing.
